They'll deny, deny, deny, right up until the end, when they try sell you a Super Deluxe Shakemaster 2000, or worse, try to get you to sell them.

Any time a friend or coworker tries to loop me into some "fantastic opportunity" I just pull out my wallet and ask them how much they need. They look puzzled and i say they must be hard up for extra cash, so just tell me how much. That usually shuts them up.
